The body of Sierra Nevada Brewing vice president Steve Harrison, was found yesterday in the Sacramento River. Harrison, 54, had been missing for more than a week. There was no sign of foul play, according to authorities.
Harrison was the first employee at Sierra Nevada and was friends with company-founder Ken Grossman before conception of the brewery.

I have been out of the country and just got this news. I must say that it is quite devastating. This man (who I only knew over the phone) was one of the ultra coolest humen beings I have ever known. He was ALWAYS nothing but great to me. He is the kind of person I would have done anything for. My heart and prayers go out to his family, co workers, and friends. He will be missed.
Cheers Steve, thank you.
